then you have no fear that the election of mr greeley will produce any financial difficulty 1 mr stewart â€” none whatever reporter â€” what do you think ofhis present views on the tariff question ? would tbey not if carried out by a change of tariff lead to some contusion with tbe merchants 1 mr stewart â€” not at all on the con trary i think mr greeiev leaves that question where it always should be left â€” wiih the people through their members of congress uncontrolled by parly dictation i have always contented lhat the tariff laws to which our country looks for its revenue should be dictated wholly by rubs of equity and justice and so as to bear equally in tin ir application upon all interests and all classses take oft tbe paity whip allow the members of con gress io consult the general interests of their respective constituents in framing the tanff laws and 1 believe we wouid find every interest much better served aud protected than it now is states rights there is something reassuring in the significant remark of governor curtin iu his late speech alter ascribing the war to the doctrine of states rights he adds now 1 tear my fellow-citizens that the pendulum has swung too far in the oilier direction applause and while we had just reason to complain of tbe insid ious doctrine of stales rights we have also a just right to complain thai there is too much centralization of government just now oveilookiug the just rights of the tates tbis is the conviction and confession of the most eager and conspicuous of the j war-governors of ihe xortlf the pen i

d1eii not a new horror â€” a ferocious parasite taken from a man's leg i from the charleston news a short lime ago a sailor was sent to the city hospital from the british baik georgiana who was supposed to be suf leriaig fiom a sore l**g the man had been ailing for nearly three mouths but none of bis shipmates supposed that there was any thing serious lhe matter with him accordingly when a few daya before his leiuoviil io ihe hospita 1 , he de â– dared himself unable to walk about lhe captain ofthe ship supposed thai he was i endeavoring in make an excuse for get j ting away from the vessel that he might be left iu port the ship being prepared lo sail iu a tew days when removed to the hospital ihe man's right leg was very much swollen and manifested all j the symptoms of erysipelas for which maledy bis affection was at first mistaken j at the end of a few days however an i abscess formed upon the itier side of tbe 'â– ankle from which after il had burst pro truded about three inches of a white membranous-looking substance about an eighth of an inch in diameter this sin j gul.tr manifestation induced a careful ex i amiuatiuu of lhe leg *** hicb developed the fael ihal the man was iffi eti d with the diucuncalus or guinea worm this is a horrible parasite found only along the shores ofthe indian ocean red sea and certain portions ofthe mediterranean it infests damp aud muddy soils and impure water and generally attacks the feet aud legs but mn limes other portions of tbe body at the time lhat it f rsakes its native element for the more luxurious h ibitailou of flesh and blood it is scarcely larger than a common tii a ; but having once buried itself beueaih ibe skin it grows wiih alarming rapidity and will attained a size varying from six inches to j si leel in length by one-twelfih to one eiglrh of an inch iu diameter it lia-s doruant uniil it reaches the age of uiatu lit v after which it commences a series of j wanderings and meaiideriiigs about the i muscles and bones which causes intense ; pain to tbe unsuspecting victim it al â– ways navel downwards and wiih such rapidity fhat il will sometimes travel the wh.de length of the human frame in twen ty-four bonis li w ill sometimes come to tbe surface and lie under tbe skin like a long white cord but siiould the sur geon attempt to extract it with the knife without first securing it wiih a uipper it will elude his grasp and scamper away with the agility of an eel if a portion of the worm is removed the remaining por tion will not die but continues as gay and lively as ever the first symtoms ot the guinea worm are a disagreeable itch ing and irritation of the infected parts after it begins to move about its paths are followed by externel abscesses aud when the paths lie along tbe stomach internal abscesses also it always ucti uiately endeavors to leave the system by working its way through the skin gener ally uear the ankle but this is only after it has left from ten to fifteen young be hind the usual number of worms that are found iu one person varies from one to fifty there is one case on record however of a man dying from the effects of the guinea worm whose body and skin were nothing but a net work of these horrible creatures death rarely results from the ravages of this worm and when it dots it is generally the n suit of some disease produced by the infl.imati n and other eft'-cts of the worm's wanderings the guinea worm does not con tine its ravages to man but will also attack dogs and horses lhe sailor in question made a voyage to the eastern coast of africa about six months sgo and while there received the parasites into his system one ol these worms has already been ex tracted from his right leg but another has made its appearance in the left he is doing as well rs ean be expected under the ciicumstance8 this is probably the first case of tbe kind ever known in charleston conducting the farm by chakley c harper many people think farming the surest and safest business iu the world and so il is if conducted iu the proper manner a number of persons who call themselves latino's are a long ways from managing the farm in the proper way you go to the dwelling of one of these slip shod far mers in the morning and instead of find ing the man out iu the field at work you will find bim in bed and he sticks to it until the sun's rays shining through tbe cracks ot his cabin will not let him lie auy longer he will have a few pigs lhat are more like rails than any thing else running round the yard and if lhe door is left open a mi note they will be in the bouse upsetting everything they can get their noses under jo to his stables and you will find two or three old horses so poor thai it would take two to cast a shadow go to bis fii-lds aud jou will no li id two of ibe same shape hd could mil find his fences it he tried tor they are oveigra w.i by weeds and briers his corn will look as yellow as ii there bad been no rain since the hood and every thing is iu a similar state now boys you will agree with me that this is uo proper way nf doing business to make farming profitable the farmer should have a o"d fiame house large enough to accommodate his family with a nici ly paled va/d a good barn enough good inrses to do ibe farm work with ease his fields should be divided up in propor tion to the siz ot his farm his fences should be kept cl-au of briers and weeds he must not think he is a gentleman and wear cosily clothes while at work nor musi he > 1 i iik he can boss and do no thing else it is very foolish for one to think it lakes one man's time luboss he should give orders aud do as much as any of the hired help beside by so do ing in due time he can gather in au abundant harvest and when winter comes he can have tbe pleasure of being amidst bis family and enjoying a blazing fire which he has a right to c;ii bis own for he ban earned it by the sweat ot his brow now friends if you intend to farm take

would heed what i the american agriculturist says â€” ih ! duce the boys to lake an interest in the i farm in the implements in the stock ; tell i them all yoar plans your success aud failures ; give them a history of your life and what you did and how you lived when a boy ; but do not harp too much on lhe degenerate chaiacter of j oung men ofthe present age praise them when you can and encourage ihem to do still better let ihem dress up in tbe evening instead of sitting down in their dirty clothes in a dirty room provide plenty of light thanks to kerosene our coun try homes cau be as

liberal feeding and of the advantage of making animals comfortable rather than ofthe hud times low prices and high wagrs above ill encourugc the boy to read good agricultural papers get bim some good agricultural book to study read it with him and give him the benefit of your expa-rience and criti cism when he has mastered this give him another in our own case we owe our love for farming

erysipelas for which maledy bis affection was at first mistaken j at the end of a few days however an i abscess formed upon the itier side of tbe 'â– ankle from which after il had burst pro truded about three inches of a white membranous-looking substance about an eighth of an inch in diameter this sin j gul.tr manifestation induced a careful ex i amiuatiuu of lhe leg *** hicb developed the fael ihal the man was iffi eti d with the diucuncalus or guinea worm this is a horrible parasite found only along the shores ofthe indian ocean red sea and certain portions ofthe mediterranean it infests damp aud muddy soils and impure water and generally attacks the feet aud legs but mn limes other portions of tbe body at the time lhat it f rsakes its native element for the more luxurious h ibitailou of flesh and blood it is scarcely larger than a common tii a ; but having once buried itself beueaih ibe skin it grows wiih alarming rapidity and will attained a size varying from six inches to j si leel in length by one-twelfih to one eiglrh of an inch iu diameter it lia-s doruant uniil it reaches the age of uiatu lit v after which it commences a series of j wanderings and meaiideriiigs about the i muscles and bones which causes intense ; pain to tbe unsuspecting victim it al â– ways navel downwards and wiih such rapidity fhat il will sometimes travel the wh.de length of the human frame in twen ty-four bonis li w ill sometimes come to tbe surface and lie under tbe skin like a long white cord but siiould the sur geon attempt to extract it with the knife without first securing it wiih a uipper it will elude his grasp and scamper away with the agility of an eel if a portion of the worm is removed the remaining por tion will not die but continues as gay and lively as ever the first symtoms ot the guinea worm are a disagreeable itch ing and irritation of the infected parts after it begins to move about its paths are followed by externel abscesses aud when the paths lie along tbe stomach internal abscesses also it always ucti uiately endeavors to leave the system by working its way through the skin gener ally uear the ankle but this is only after it has left from ten to fifteen young be hind the usual number of worms that are found iu one person varies from one to fifty there is one case on record however of a man dying from the effects of the guinea worm whose body and skin were nothing but a net work of these horrible creatures death rarely results from the ravages of this worm and when it dots it is generally the n suit of some disease produced by the infl.imati n and other eft'-cts of the worm's wanderings the guinea worm does not con tine its ravages to man but will also attack dogs and horses lhe sailor in question made a voyage to the eastern coast of africa about six months sgo and while there received the parasites into his system one ol these worms has already been ex tracted from his right leg but another has made its appearance in the left he is doing as well rs ean be expected under the ciicumstance8 this is probably the first case of tbe kind ever known in charleston conducting the farm by chakley c harper many people think farming the surest and safest business iu the world and so il is if conducted iu the proper manner a number of persons who call themselves latino's are a long ways from managing the farm in the proper way you go to the dwelling of one of these slip shod far mers in the morning and instead of find ing the man out iu the field at work you will find bim in bed and he sticks to it until the sun's rays shining through tbe cracks ot his cabin will not let him lie auy longer he will have a few pigs lhat are more like rails than any thing else running round the yard and if lhe door is left open a mi note they will be in the bouse upsetting everything they can get their noses under jo to his stables and you will find two or three old horses so poor thai it would take two to cast a shadow go to bis fii-lds aud jou will no li id two of ibe same shape hd could mil find his fences it he tried tor they are oveigra w.i by weeds and briers his corn will look as yellow as ii there bad been no rain since the hood and every thing is iu a similar state now boys you will agree with me that this is uo proper way nf doing business to make farming profitable the farmer should have a o"d fiame house large enough to accommodate his family with a nici ly paled va/d a good barn enough good inrses to do ibe farm work with ease his fields should be divided up in propor tion to the siz ot his farm his fences should be kept cl-au of briers and weeds he must not think he is a gentleman and wear cosily clothes while at work nor musi he > 1 i iik he can boss and do no thing else it is very foolish for one to think it lakes one man's time luboss he should give orders aud do as much as any of the hired help beside by so do ing in due time he can gather in au abundant harvest and when winter comes he can have tbe pleasure of being amidst bis family and enjoying a blazing fire which he has a right to c;ii bis own for he ban earned it by the sweat ot his brow now friends if you intend to farm take
